Giving Back | Concept to Cloud
New! Listen to Concept to Cloud - Real stories from the trenches of software engineering

Giving back

One build a month for a mission that matters.

Pro bono or at cost. Apply to see if you qualify.

Why we do this

Engineering that moves missions.

We started Concept to Cloud passionate about space and mission-driven work. From NASA to Princeton, the through-line has always been the same: senior engineering is what turns a hard mission into a shipped thing.

Nonprofits with real missions rarely get access to that kind of engineering. The budget goes to the mission, not to the platform behind it.

We know the hours it takes to make a real difference. We want to help.

What we can build

One small, scoped project a month.

We'll sit with your team, understand what you actually need, and write back exactly what we can deliver in the time. Then ship it. Some shapes it can take:

  • Modernising an aging system that's slowing your team down
  • A new feature your users have been asking for
  • A prototype you want to take to your team or board
  • A technical audit that tells you what to fix first
  • A website redesign
  • Anything else that fits into a single-month scope

How it works

Five steps, one month.

  1. 01

    Apply.

    Short form below. Tell us the organisation, the mission, and the shape of what you need.

  2. 02

    We review.

    One project a month, so we say yes to what we can genuinely help. We verify your nonprofit status and read every application carefully.

  3. 03

    Discovery call.

    We sit with your team, understand the constraints, and ask the questions that let us scope honestly.

  4. 04

    Scoped write-up.

    We send back exactly what we'll do, how we'll do it, and what you'll get.

  5. 05

    Build.

    We ship inside the month.

The model

Sustainable, so we can keep doing it.

Pro bono or at cost, depending on what your organisation can support. Never at our full commercial rate. This is designed to be sustainable so we can keep doing it every month, not a one-time gesture.
